The FBI would get expanded powers to subpoena records without the approval of a judge or grand jury in terrorism investigations under Patriot Act revisions approved Tuesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Some senators who voted 11-4 to move the bill forward said they would push for limits on the new powers the measure would grant to law enforcement agencies.
"This bill must be amended on the floor to protect national security while protecting Constitutional rights," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
oh, yeah, right... abdicate your responsibility to do the right thing in committee and then cross your friggin' fingers that your colleagues will fix the goddam holes on the senate floor... wusses... weenies... let's just dump all our civil liberties in a 50-gallon drum, douse 'em with kerosene and drop in a match...
